Taking the lying to eleven:
During an interview with WEWS-TV in Cleveland following a campaign stop, Romney said his views helped save the [auto] industry.
“I pushed the idea of a managed bankruptcy,” Romney said. “And finally, when that was done, and help was given, the companies got back on their feet. So I’ll take a lot of credit for the fact that this industry’s come back.”
He pushed the idea that the government should not give any money to the auto industry, which would have led to their liquidation. Instead, General Motors now stands at 5th and Ford 9th on the Forbes Top 100 corporations.
